10 Selected to View McVeigh Execution
From Times Wire Reports
Paul Howell and Peggy Broxterman, who each lost a child in the Oklahoma City bombing, said they are happy to be among 10 survivors and relatives of victims picked to witness next month’s scheduled execution of bomber Timothy J. McVeigh.
The group was selected this week by computer lottery from among about 250 who asked to view the first federal execution since 1963, set for May 16 at a federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind.
The April 19, 1995, blast at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building killed 168 people.
